Yesterday went off without a hitch, and I think today will be easy as well. For the record I want to state that I don’t plan on giving up soda forever, and I will partake in a refreshing soda from time to time. However, I will try to be smart about choosing real sugar over high fructose corn syrup and limiting my self to only one or two sodas a month. I also am getting in the routine of a semi regular riding schedule, now that the sun is out longer after work. I am trying to ride 25-30 miles two nights a week and a longer rides on the weekends. This feels good!

So I have a problem, and the first step is realizing I have a problem. I LOVE soda, but I have to stop drinking it. The funny part is that I also love water, but Soda is my gateway into other bad habits like sugar. I tend to drink one soda a day and partake in a few sugary delights as well. This has to stop. I am really impressed with the guy over at bikerumor.com and his no added sugar experiment for one month (looking forward to reading the results), and would love to try something like that, but I just need to see others do it first so I know what to do. I also have a friend that weighs in every morning and charts his gains and loses, and I feel like that might be a good first start to a drastic nutrition change. So…

DAY1: NO SODA

Breakfast: Russian Caravan tea sweetened with agave nectar. I know I am supposed to eat something, I just don’t have anything!
Lunch: Tuna sandwich with Tomato Basil Soup and green tea.
Dinner/LOST party: White wine (maybe beer) with my wife’s homemade turkey chili
